PUBG, Krafton India Head appointed

Krafton Inc, the parent company of PUBG Corp. has appointed Aneesh Aravind as the Country Head for India. He has worked with Tencent for a long time and now has shifted to Krafton to oversee the operations in the Indian region. This news was revealed by his own LinkedIn post.

This is a positive but needed development in the story of PUBG Mobile India. The game is on a hiatus for the past three months and even with many other leads, it is awaiting the approval of MeitY before its complete launch in the country.

Krafton had announced their plans during the official announcement of the return of PUBG Mobile in India. After revealing that India will have their own version of the game, they went on to reveal that a regional office will be set up to overlook the operations in the country.

Alongside this, Krafton promised to invest a huge amount of $100M in the country and appoint a staff of over 100 employees in the process. This large amount would be used in the developments of several other sectors and mainly for the PUBG Mobile esports ecosystem.

After the announcement of Aneesh Aravind, PUBG Corp. officially registered its Indian subsidiary under the name of PUBG India Pvt. Ltd. and now, a regional head is appointed, most probably for this office.

This development may be positive for the operations and logistics of PUBG Mobile India but in no way implicate that the launch date of the game is near. The approval is still pending and the game will only return after that.

NiP to add Ex6TenZ to their Valorant Roster

According to a report from neLendirekt, Counter Strike Professional Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans might join the forces at Ninjas In Pyjamas’s Pro Valorant.

This potential addition follows a plethora of roster changes made by the Swedish Organization a week back where the team parted its ways with Saif ‘Sayf’ Jibraeel and Niels ‘luckeRRR’ Jasiek. Along with these moves, Russian prodigy Yaroslav ‘Jady’ Nikolaev made his way to NiP’s starting five with the search for their 5th player already in process.

As advised by 1pv.fr, Ninjas in Pyjamas are currently lined up to recruit Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans as their fifth. The 30yo Belgium player last played for GamerLegion where he decided to hang his mouse as a player eventually making himself open to coaching opportunities. French side Team Heretics led by Fabien ‘kioShiMa’ Fiey too reached out to him for their CS:GO project only to be let go by the same. In the early days, Ex6TenZ did play under a variety of teams including G2 Esports and Titan Esports. 

With this addition, Ninjas In Pyjamas would have:

  • Emir “rhyme” Muminovic
  • Charles “CREA” Beauvois
  • Egor “chiwawa” Stepanyuk
  • Yaroslav “Jady” Nikolaev
  • Kévin “Ex6tenZ” Droolans

xQc Responds to Dr Disrespect Mocking Him Over Bloons TD 6 Stream

Félix “xQc” Lengyel might be the most subscribed streamer on Twitch, but that didn’t stop YouTube star Herschel “Dr. Disrespect” Beahm IV from taking a few shots at him after the former was seen streaming the 3D tower defense game Bloons TD 6 on his Twitch channel.

On December 19th, Dr. Disrespect tweeted out a video of xQc’s Bloons TD 6 stream while mocking him for streaming it in front of 60,000 viewers. 

“xQc, you got 60,000 people watching you play Bloons Tenacious Destruction 6. Whatever the f**k it’s called. Are you f**king kidding me?” the 38-year-old exclaimed.

The Tweet gained a significant amount of traction in a short time span with over 18,000 likes and 1,000 retweets. Fans of the doc also agreed with him in the comments section of the tweet.

xQc was swift to respond to the doc after his tweet. He pulled up the tweet during his live stream and proceeded to mock Dr. Disrespect’s dance moves.

Fortnite announces collaboration with RaftaaR for Fortnite Bhangra Boogie Cup

After doing a lot of collaborations these days, Epic Games has finally unveiled the Fortnite Bhangra Boogie Cup in partnership with the Indian Rapper RaftaaЯ. The tournament is presented by OnePlus for Android players. Fortnite has already featured the “Click Pow Get Down” song by RaftaaR as an in-game music pack.

Fortnite x RaftaaR

Recently launched OnePlus 8T supports 90 FPS in Fortnite that makes the game buttery smooth. If you have already redeemed the Bhangra Boogie emote from your OnePlus device, the “Click Pow Get Down” music kit will automatically be added to your inventory. This is the first ever Indian-themed item in Fortnite.

The Fortnite x RaftaaR collaboration is quite beneficial as it opens the path for other Indian artists to collab with Fortnite.

However, the RaftaaR music kit isn’t available on the Fortnite item store. Therefore, you can’t really buy it even if you want to own it. Only eligible players have got it into their inventories.

“We are excited about introducing India-inspired content on Fortnite and our partnership with Raftaar. Emotes are a much-loved feature amongst Fortnite gamers and through the launch of the Bhangra Boogie Emote and Click Pow Get Down Lobby track, we aim to strengthen our connection with Indian players from all over the world. We are looking forward to working with Indian creators and hope that they resonate with this new feature. Player experience is at the heart of Epic Games and we will continue to bring such exciting features for players to look forward to.” said Mr. Quentin Staes-Polet, GM India and SEA-Epic Games.

Regarding this collaboration RaftaaR said, “I’m super excited to partner with Epic Games for their India campaign. As an avid gaming enthusiast, I found great synergies with the brand and the track I’ve created embodies the essence of Fortnite.”

COD Mobile has an option where players can log in via creating an Activision account. To encourage its player base to login via this method, COD Mobile has announced that each and every player who registers through this method can get the Ghost with Stealth Camo skin for free.

CD Projekt Red might face a class action lawsuit for broken Cyberpunk 2077 Launch

CD Projekt Red might face a class action lawsuit for broken Cyberpunk 2077 Launch

Amid the enormous backlash over the performance and bugs of the newly launched Cyberpunk 2077, developer CD Projekt Red might soon find themselves in another predicament, a class-action lawsuit.

The news of the class action lawsuit comes in light of the recent drama of Sony removing the Digital copy of Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store and providing refunds, along with Microsoft extending the refund period for the game and issuing a performance warning for players when they purchase the game from the Xbox Store. The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 on Dec 10th was not at all smooth.

At launch, the game had an endless amount of glitches and bugs that restricted many from enjoying the game. Not to forget the players who purchased the game on older-gen consoles that weren’t even able to get into the game after the end of the cutscene.

A game that was in making for nearly eight years not able to boot up properly on consoles from late 2013 has left many fans furious and disappointed. The pre-launch hype soon turned into a stream of anger and fury.

Now, it appears the situation has turned grim for the company. According to a report by the New York Times, Lawyers and investors in Warsaw are accessing the situation and “contemplating a class-action lawsuit against the company,”. According to some Lawyers, CD Projekt Red is involved in “criminal misrepresentation to receive financial benefits.” 

The Lawyers are claiming that the company knew the game was broken and still went ahead with the launch which resulted in a failure that tanked the reputation of the company and cost investors money. 

Now, with the chances of a class-action lawsuit looming over CD Projekt Red, the future for both the company and game doesn’t look too good and might even result in the company losing more money than they expected.
